Gator RC 24mm Triangle Base Control Horn – Angled Nylon
Couldn't load pickup availability
A compact angled control horn with a wide 50×24mm triangle base, purpose-built for RC aircraft that need a stable, high-footprint mount without the added length of a larger horn. At just 6.9 grams, it delivers precise pushrod geometry and a rock-solid mount in a lightweight package.
Key features
- 24mm angled control horn — compact length with angled geometry for precise off-axis pushrod alignment
- Wide 50×24mm triangle base — distributes load across a large footprint for a stronger, more stable mount than standard rectangular bases
- 2.8mm thread size — compatible with standard RC linkage hardware and clevises
- Lightweight at 6.9 grams — minimal weight impact for the stability and strength it provides
- Angled horn profile — reduces binding on off-axis pushrod runs for smoother, more consistent control response
- Sold individually — order the exact quantity you need per build
Specifications
- Horn length: 24mm
- Horn thread size: 2.8mm
- Base dimensions: 50 × 24mm (triangle)
- Weight: 6.9 grams
- Horn style: Angled
- Application: Elevator, rudder, ailerons
- SKU: GRC-CH-206
- Sold as: 1 × control horn (each)
What's Included
- 2 × triangle base plates — flat top plate and angled/curved bottom plate that sandwich the control surface for a secure, gap-free clamp mount
- 1 × aluminum pivot post (main shaft) — silver cone-shaped piece that passes through the control surface and acts as the pivot point for the linkage arm
- 1 × clevis / link arm — small black arm with hole at the end; connects to your pushrod or servo linkage
- 4 × self-tapping mounting screws — secure both base plates directly to the control surface; no pre-drilling required on most foam and balsa surfaces
- 1 × clevis pin bolt + nut — small screw and nut set that connects the clevis arm to the aluminum pivot post
Required to complete
- Pushrod linkage (size dependent on setup)
- Clevis or ball link compatible with 2.8mm thread
- Mounting screws and backplate or reinforcement (airframe dependent)
Best for
- Small to medium RC airplanes needing a wide-base, stable horn mount
- Elevator, rudder, and aileron control surfaces
- Sport, scale, and aerobatic aircraft
- Builds where shorter horn length is preferred over the 34mm version
- Applications where pushrod routing angle benefits from an angled horn profile
Installation notes
- Confirm the angled horn profile suits your pushrod routing geometry before installing
- Align the horn pivot point directly with the control surface hinge line for correct throw geometry
- Use appropriate reinforcement or backplate on the control surface, especially on balsa or foam builds
- Verify full linkage travel is free and unrestricted through the complete deflection range
Why choose a triangle base control horn?
Standard rectangular base control horns concentrate mounting load on two screw points. The triangle base spreads that load across a wider footprint with additional screw placement options, reducing the risk of pull-through on foam or balsa control surfaces and providing a more rigid, rattle-free installation over time. Combined with the angled horn profile, this is a purpose-built upgrade for builders who want clean geometry and long-term reliability.
